Non-ferrous metals and hard steels do not exhibit a definite yield point, when pulled in the testing machine and hence for these cases, a better measure of their elastic properties is defined by the ______________ stress?

Correct answer: C. Proof

  • A. Ultimate
  • B. Yield point
  • C. Proof
  • D. None of these

Explanation

When no sharp yield point appears, the proof stress is defined as the stress producing a specified permanent strain, commonly 0.2%. Ultimate stress measures failure strength rather than the onset of permanent deformation.
